IMG_20150830_193828262_HDRFinn is seeming more and more adventurous when we are out and about or in larger group situations. This week he wanted to walk down the stairs by himself while we were watching the Clippers play at Huntington Park.  He’s really cute about it as he regularly turns around to see how far away he is and he will usually say a thing or two. But he ends up going a bit further each time.  This game he had a pretzel as his “special treat” and he devoured that thing!IMG_20150830_194749674_HDR IMG_20150830_190228131_HDR IMG_20150830_184912848_HDR IMG_20150830_190007495_HDR IMG_20150830_200205120_HDRWe stopped after swim lessons to watch some loaders, dump trucks, and bull dozers up close and personal. Finn thought it was great and loved just watching the construction workers operate the machinery. One of them even waved to Griffin, which he thought was so neat. IMG_20150829_112811881 IMG_20150829_112502089_HDRFinn also helped me pick a bunch of things this week from the garden. We had a nice variety of Kaleidoscope carrots (long and colorful) and Short & Sweet carrots (the stubby orange ones) along with a handful of onions and tomatoes. They are so pretty and colorful but I’ve yet to make anything with them. I’m thinking I’ll make a beef stew 🙂  We have been regularly eating the cucumbers we’ve harvested each week. IMG_20150823_132257234 IMG_20150823_135703868_HDR

DSC_0347Well, having returned from vacation we’ve been trying to get back into our regular routine at home. We’ve had a pretty uneventful week up until the weekend which was full of adventure and fun! First up, as you can see above, a trip up to Mansfield where Kevin helped dad go pick up a 1953 MG TD that he is going to restore – his next hobby! They made the trip to the Akron area Friday evening and returned just before dusk where we were able to take a quick peak before they covered it up for the night. Finn loved checking it out and dad is pretty stoked to begin this new project!DSC_0333 DSC_0336 DSC_0337 DSC_0338 DSC_0342 DSC_0344 DSC_0347 DSC_0348 DSC_0354 DSC_0355 DSC_0350

Then it was Leaning Tower pizza and sub for dinner!IMG_20150821_210049754

Here are some photos in the daylight on Saturday morning before they headed off to drop the car off at the shop that will be helping dad with the restoration. DSC_0357 DSC_0358 DSC_0362 DSC_0365 DSC_0367 DSC_0369

I look forward to seeing these two tool around town in this car once it’s all up and running!DSC_0371 DSC_0376 DSC_0379

ROAR!!!!DSC_0382

And on Saturday we all headed back to Columbus to celebrate cousin Rowan’s 4th birthday part at the Fire Station #93 in Dublin.  The part was complete with a tour of the entire fire station, the kids were able to sit in the medic ambulance, the fire trucks, spray water out of the fire hose, and as a special treat Rowan, Greta, Graham, and Griffin were able to ride around the parking lot in the actual fire truck! What a fun party!DSC_0387 DSC_0394 DSC_0395 DSC_0398 DSC_0402 DSC_0408 DSC_0412 DSC_0414 DSC_0418 DSC_0421 DSC_0423 DSC_0426 IMG_20150822_165839821 DSC_0429 DSC_0431 DSC_0435 DSC_0437 DSC_0439 DSC_0447 IMG_20150822_174556553 IMG_20150822_174630923 IMG_20150822_174741215 IMG_20150822_174959395 IMG_20150822_175342448 DSC_0451 DSC_0453 DSC_0454 DSC_0455 DSC_0458cousins

photoFinn had some fun with his feet making these painted shapes.  He’s really mastered his shapes and can name each of these when you hold them up!IMG_20150802_185931563_HDRHe made a super cool rocket ship at COSI and we went to a kids Lollipop concert in Powell on a really nice morning. photo(3)IMG_20150803_101529973_HDR

Finn was also really happy that his buddy Sammy was back starting this week! They had some fun adventures, including one downtown to the Fountains and the Fountainside kids event complete with a picnic lunch. photo(1) photo(4) photo(5) photo(2)And now…..we’re off on vacation, yay!
